That a former Monsanto scientist should find himself in charge of a specially-created post at the very journal that published two landmark studies questioning the safety of that company's products should surprise no one who is aware of the Monsanto revolving door. This door is responsible for literally dozens of Monsanto officials, lobbyists and consultants finding themselves in positions of authority in the government bodies that are supposedly there to regulate the company and its actions.

Genetically modified crops

Genetically modified crops (GMCs, GM crops, or biotech crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples in food crops include resistance to certain pests, diseases, or environmental conditions, reduction of spoilage, or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide), or improving the nutrient profile of the crop. Examples in non-food crops include production of pharmaceutical agents, biofuels, and other industrially useful goods, as well as for bioremediation.

Farmers have widely adopted GM technology. Between 1996 and 2013, the total surface area of land cultivated with GM crops increased by a factor of 100, from 17,000km2 (4.2 million acres) to 1,750,000km2 (432 million acres). 10% of the world's arable land was planted with GM crops in 2010. In the US, by 2014, 94% of the planted area of soybeans, 96% of cotton and 93% of corn were genetically modified varieties. Use of GM crops expanded rapidly in developing countries, with about 18 million farmers growing 54% of worldwide GM crops by 2013. A 2014 meta-analysis concluded that GM technology adoption had reduced chemical pesticide use by 37%, increased crop yields by 22%, and increased farmer profits by 68%. This reduction in pesticide use has been ecologically beneficial, but benefits may be reduced by overuse. Yield gains and pesticide reductions are larger for insect-resistant crops than for herbicide-tolerant crops. Yield and profit gains are higher in developing countries than in developed countries.

Edinburgh, the country's capital and second-largest city, was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual, and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, was once one of the world's leading industrial cities and now lies at the centre of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. Scottish waters consist of a large sector of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest oil reserves in the European Union. This has given Aberdeen, the third-largest city in Scotland, the title of Europe's oil capital.

A Guide to 'Stamping Out' GMO's in the UK

GMO's posed a serious threat to the UK in the 90's, progressing to the farm trial stage in various counties across the land. But activists and local people mobilised to trash the crops, helping to raise public awareness of the threat to wildlife, organic farming and human health posed by these Frankenstein Foods.
This news compilation shows just how non-violent direct action killed off the biotech industry in the UK by forcing the debate and defying the law and government.
NB - No Greenpeace activists were jailed in the making of this legend - in fact, they were totally vindicated by a Norfolk jury.

In this episode of the AustralianRoundtable Podcast, Ethan, Johnno and Lindsay discuss G20 expenses still rising nine months after summit; Public approval of politicians plummeting; 'No Jab, No Play' laws to be introduced in Victoria; Parasitism and Australian banks; Australia set to expand bombing of ISIS into Syria; Scotland bans GMO; News Corp selling off education unit, and much more.

GMO's posed a serious threat to the UK in the 90's, progressing to the farm trial stage in various counties across the land. But activists and local people mobilised to trash the crops, helping to raise public awareness of the threat to wildlife, organic farming and human health posed by these Frankenstein Foods.
This news compilation shows just how non-violent direct action killed off the biotech industry in the UK by forcing the debate and defying the law and government.
NB - No Greenpeace activists were jailed in the making of this legend - in fact, they were totally vindicated by a Norfolk jury.

SHOW NOTES: https://www.corbettreport.com/?p=15986

In doing so, it is just one of a number of countries around the world that have restricted or banned the cultivation or importation of GM crops. TodayJames outlines why this is a good thing, how people can get more information about this trend and its importance, and why we should celebrate and emulate these types of victories. Also, he thanks The Corbett Report members that participated in the recent "Winning!" contest.

Genetic Fallacy: How Monsanto Silences Scientific Dissent

SUPPORT BOILINGFROGSPOST.COM: http://ur1.ca/g527g
TRANSCRIPT AND SOURCES: http://www.corbettreport.com/?p=8325
That a former Monsanto scientist should find himself in charge of a specially-created post at the very journal that published two landmark studies questioning the safety of that company's products should surprise no one who is aware of the Monsanto revolving door. This door is responsible for literally dozens of Monsanto officials, lobbyists and consultants finding themselves in positions of authority in the government bodies that are supposedly there to regulate the company and its actions.
